how sad, too bad, never mind

[@Anand_KL]

The tackle was AFTER the ball had been kicked. How can it be a penalty as the shot was already made. .

[@Skeptic62]

Regardless of the circumstances, the challenge warranted a free kick or penalty based on the rules. Why would you assume that where the ball was had anything to do with the challenge, be it a shot at goal or a pass?

[@Anand_KL]

@@Skeptic62 Please read Gary Linekar and Gary Nevilles comments. They both also feel it wasn't a penalty. But game over, England is in the final. Yay

[@MaartenAnna]

The VAR overlooked the handball by Saka which put the ball in Kane’s direction, prior to the shot. Prior to the faul. So, no penalty, no goal.

Not a penalty. Question mark remains why UEFA allowed this referee to officiate at this game with his previous history of match fixing and was banned for 6 months. There are plenty of referees in Europe who should have been given this high profile match without behaviour baggage. Most teams with pride would have been embarrassed winning in such circumstances. England cannot say they won fairly. They won the game technically through bad decision making of referee.

[@dickbakker1035]

There was a handball of Saka just before Dumfries tried to Block the ball. VAR did not check the handball.

[@Richard-yd1ws]

If you lead with your studs you can create massive injuries That was the reason. Nothing to do with the ball

[@alfredthegreat9543]

Dumfries went in high with studs up. That is always a foul- even if he had kicked the ball, which he didn't. You just can't go in to a challenge with studs up anywhere on the pitch. The fact Kane actually caught Dumfries with the follow through of his shot is irrelevant- if you have a shot and then are tripped its also a foul. Maybe a soft one to give but you see these given as fouls outside the area many times, sometimes with a red card. Studs up is asking for trouble.

[@owenjoseph7648]

I'd argue the same. Absolutely a foul anywhere on the field. As for Neville he also, rather strangely, argued a foul anywhere except the penalty area where more leeway should be given.

[@williambailey344]

It was definitely not a foul and I'm sure we all know that, the problem was the VAR officials and the referee to blame. But I have to say we have had our share of bad decisions in the past but I think we were the better team on the night but not a great team overall the other matches played.

[@robertkimmins4004]

In my day (1970s, 80s) the tackle would have been seen as going for the ball - no penalty - and that was my instant real-time reaction. But today, these kinds of tackles are penalized frequently outside the box so why not inside it? This tackle was seen as too aggressive, high boot and studs showing - a penalty. This happens all the time now - there's no scandal - these controversies work both ways for any side over time. Time to move on.

I remember playing loads of football (70s+80s) your right it was much tougher than the bunch of Fannie's of today. but the difference was we tackled properly, hard but without showing too much studs.difference now is a lot of the tackles are like Kung Fu kicks, therefore deemed quite rightly as dangerous play

[@gerrie7892]

First, there was hands made by , I believe, Bellingham before the ball even reached Kane. So it should have stopped at that point. But regardless, you can not call it a challenge from Dumfries. You see this the best from the camera angle behind Dumfries. He stretches his leg paralel to Kane to block the shot. So NOT in the direction of Kane. The fact that there is contact at all is due to Kane swinging the leg after the shot. Normal behaviour of course but no challenge means no foul means no penalty. Just imagine a defender just standing on the edge of the box with his hands behind his back. No movement just blocking the shot. Then the attacker shoots and kicks the defender in the privates. While doing so he hurts his poor toes. Is this a foul and a penalty?😂

[@jvdvlist8040]

It was Saka who handled the ball innthe lead up to the penalty incident.

[@gweilospur5877]

Pickford never saved that Dumfries header, it hit the bar.

[@garrettskinner702]

The reason is simple, he put his studs out to defend where Kane hit them with the top of his foot. I have zero love for Kane.

[@joelp9486]

I can a agree with the Saka handball and the no-call against Germany. But for the people who say it is not a foul, how is it ok to challenge an opposing player with your studs up? Kane did get the shot off and the contact was on the follow through, but is it ever legal to challenge an opposing player leading the challenge with the studs up? Maybe if you only contact the ball and there is no contact with the other player. Please tell me when it is legal to challenge another player with with the studs of your boots raised and the initial point of contact with the opposing player is the bottom of your boot.

Harry Kane who claimed or pretended to have been so gruesomely roughed by Dumfries immediately got up when he sensed that his theatrical antics were about to yield that devilish result he craved for. He eventually even ended up being the penalty taker! What a deliberately amateurish officiating and yet not less deadly debilitating. It's a shame!

Look this is a Semi final match. Netherlands was winning and was letting England play their game to counter them for a 2-0. That penalty destroyed the whole game because it was a bad call. it gave the game momentum to England.

[@Skeptic62]

Personal opinions do not change anything. The penalty was awarded by the referee after initially awarding a goalkick, but was encouraged by VAR to look at his decision once again. Based on the rules of the game at this moment, he decided to award a penalty. If VAR is to be utilised by those who determine the direction that the game takes, then these circumstances have to be accepted until there's a better direction to go.

[@robsellars9338]

Yeah it was the correct decision to award a penalty, as everyone else has said already, it's illegal to make a challange showing a full set of studs in ANY situation. Very dangerous play by the Netherlands guy and Kane was lucky not to get seriously injured.

[@HemNetOrange]

The referee’s initial decision was correct, no penalty. Kane had already launched his shot before his boot made contact with Dumfries’ boot.

Good luck to both teams and let's hope for a good game.

I find it pretty funny all these old pros saying its not a foul. At the time they played it wouldn't of been just a foul but a sending off aswell. He's got his studs up at knee height and knows kane will follow through after his shot. Its dangerous play that could cause an injury and it has been seen that way since the 90s at least.

Neville & Carragher just can't stand the notion this England team are going to their 2nd straight Euro final with a chance to win it all. Their huge ego just won't admit they're just not as good. That's what losers do. And well, as for Piers, everyone knows he's a 🤡. So who cares.

I think thats not a penalty. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I am sure that the Nederland player didn’t mean to do this foul, however, in the past this type of cynical dangerous foul was classed as a professional foul in the British Leagues because it was, in most cases, done deliberately and could lead to a critical injury. It was usually given a straight red. It’s hard to believe that these ex defenders don’t know this.

In England there is great respect for the Spanish national team...we know they are dangerous and the team is full of great players. And most Brits love a summer holiday in Spain, maybe that's why we have a soft spot for them. I hope England win obviously and of course the Spanish want their team to win. I hope its truly a great game and that football wins.

I remember that Netherland Football player was specialist on karate kick from the great master Nigel De Jong.

England dont given the goal Germany vs England the goal of Lampard is football 😂😂😂😂

[@xeedsenterprise505]

I remember this incident..Lampard shot should be a goal. I hope England win this time.. because Saka and Declan are in the team..

[@jm-np4mu]

​@@xeedsenterprise505Been others too.. 1993 v Holland where Koeman should have been sent off minutes before scoring the decisive winner, not to mention Maradona in '86. This was just a contentious / soft penalty

[@brendaooms]

They always say that its coming home but it never comes home

[@allthingsmalta6487]

In all honesty - anywhere else on the pitch it would have been a free-kick. I have a much bigger problem with the so many penalties given for supposed hand-balls under today's rules!

[@alandixon7948]

Foul yes pen yes. Foot was high studs showing so it's a pen

[@richardday6368]

if dumfries was blocking the ball, no penalty! He blocked kanes foot if you look.

[@Peter-b5x]

Spain won't even win the coin toss its coming home 🎉

[@malcolmpalmer]

No way was that a penalty

[@joebrownterngu9326]

Any other player in the world (including Harry Kane and even the referee himself if he were to be a player) would have done the same or at least something 90% similar to what Dumfries did if they were to be in his position. It was simply a normal attempt at defending one's post against a goal-bound move. Dumfries's outstretched leg was obviously aimed at blocking the ball but since Kane's own leg was also fully stretched in a bid to get a good hit on the ball, there was bound to be a little brush-off contact. It was simply too wicked to award a penalty in this circumstance! We have to speak fairly because it could be someone else's turn another day.
